                          Accused celebrity hacker: 'I deeply apologize.... it eats at me'.
       A man accused of hacking celebrities online accounts, showing private images, apologized. He claims he was addicted to this and couldn't stop. His name is Christopher Chaney. Federal authorities accuse the 35-year-old of hacking onto computers and other devices, invading this celebrities privacy. He got access to nude celebrity photos, and uploaded them on the internet. He accessed pictures of more then 50 people. Chaney also took financial information from the people. Some of the celebrities he attacked was Mila Kunis and Christina Aguilar. A recent nude photo of Scarlett Johannsson is part of the investigation. The FBI arrested him for the case "Operation Hackerazzi." 
         I think what he was doing was completely wrong. He should do a lot of time in Jail, especially since some of his victims were celebrities. In this society, although its wrong its true, most people see the crime a lot worst if a celebrity is involved. He was a well trained individual, and the FBI needs to look for more people like him. He was trained to get into peoples privacy easily, invading their financial information also. He claims he was addicted to this and couldn't stop, but he is just saying this for his defense. He could have stopped, he didn't have to, he is just trying to get free. Even after getting arrested, the actors and other victims involved in this will still suffer. Their nude pictures are out on the web.
